<title>Resources</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20747581</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am starting my second job, and I am wondering if there are good resources I could use to learn how to use unix?  It is a brand new material to me, and I learn more efficiently if there are exercises along with the tutorials.  Can anyone help me out there?

<title>I am old(OT)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20715814</link>
<description><![CDATA[Dear Friends,

My father, in an attempt to create some order in his home, decided it was time to trash old magazines.

Readers Digest, 1994,

 There sits a $1600 personal computer(PC)  - a Leading Edge 486DX....

Many of us dropt plates onto spindles(admit it).  What shocked me was not the sentence, not that I knew such beasts well, and not even that the current linux kernel probably has drivers for the chip.  Rather, that it took me about three or four seconds to realise how old the article must be. That hurts

Digitalis, anyone?

Best,
M

<title>Flash plugin in Icedove (Sidux)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20747469</link>
<description><![CDATA[Has anyone managed to install this and get it working? I've tried installing the non-free version but (apparently due my dial up connection) the download keeps timing out. I downloaded and installed the .tar.gz version from the Adobe site, which seemed to install successfully, but flash still isn't working in Icedove. 

Did I screw something up?]]></description>

<title>Going to a bigger drive</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20746534</link>
<description><![CDATA[Once again, I successfully used uid://170811's excellent example of tar to move from a too-full laptop drive to a soon-to-be-too-full laptop drive.

Aside from forgetting to fix fstab (going from an old dual-boot with W2K to all Slack with XP in VMware for those rare times when I need it) and having some messed-up symlinks in boot that bit me when I installed LILO, things went great.

homer@dipstick:~$ df -h&#012;Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on&#012;/dev/hda2             112G   64G   49G  57% /&#012;
Should buy me a little time.

<title>Free Asus EEE Laptop!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20745914</link>
<description><![CDATA[RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) is giving away these machines for opening up an account with them.  Interesting how Linux is really starting to make in-roads everywhere. Not sure if I'll sign up, I already own an EEE, nice machine.  But, if I got one, the EEE would have a twin to play with....

http://www.rbcroyalbank.com/products/deposits/nolimit/index.html?ProspectID=794F993FD36A4417AD78FA20B0D7598B

You have to have the account open for 6 months by the looks of it, for $13.95 /month.  $84.00, good deal...

<title>Fedora 8 DSL speed issues</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20743928</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just "upgraded" a desktop and a laptop from windows 2000 to Fedora 8. I have a DSL connection which is handled by another Linux box (gateway). When I configured the 2 computers I tried to use the same parameters where I could. The laptop is a 1.2GHz AMD with 512MB of ram. The desktop is a Pentium III 550MHz with 384 MB of ram. Internet access speed on the laptop is normal. The desktop has a speed problem. I get throughput which varies from 10% to 50% of what I see on the laptop. This only affects the download speed. My DSL is 3000/768. It appears to be some sort of delay between packets. I get small bursts at normal speed followed by delays. It is almost like it forgets the IP addresses of the web sites and has to look them up between packets. I have checked all the network parameters that I know about and both machines have the same settings. What can I check to find out what is going on here.]]></description>
